The Now Moment Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 At minimum, Milano has proved he can be a valuable part of the rotation. And he is probably our best coverage linebacker. Both he and Vallejo run like the wind. The speed of those two later picks say a lot about what McDermott wants in LBs long-term. Agreed. Intrigued to see who he decides to grab at the Linebacker position in the draft with all the picks we have. I'm sure it'll be along the same type of skill-set. He can get his guy at linebacker this year and fill some of the other glaring holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't package picks to move up for a QB expect at worst one of those 2nd rounders to go on an inside backer. I could even see them spending a 1st on one. Roquan Smith from Georgia would look awfully good in this scheme IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might even see him use one of our 3rd or 4th round picks to get another fast linebacker in the building. Three young fast linebackers in front of an underrated secondary who can make plays would be exciting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Now Moment Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 Is he a senior or a junior? Does anyone know? He's a junior but if he has a first round grade I think he'd come out. Right now he is rising up the boards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaviorPeterman Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 McD already said that Humber is getting his starting job back when healthy. Don't be surprised if we see Milano in more coverage sets though especially in place of Alexander. Only problem with that is we sacrifice a very good pass rusher by doing that.

boyst Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Humber is better player at this pointmore well rounded player. But Milano has a downfield pursuit that is nice to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep Zo in if you are going to rush him. If he is dropping he is basically a traffic cone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antonio Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I hope Humber takes Lorax's side when he comes back. Let Lorax come in for runs and rushing and keep him out of coverage. Yes please, he was terrible last game. He can keep rushing on passing downs, put him in as a DE but no more coverage for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigPappy Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Milano certainly is earning some more playing time. Lorax is a bit on the small side for this but I could see him being a edge rusher on obvious passing downs rather than a LB that has to drop into coverage. He tends to draw dumb penalties at the wrong time of the game to hurt the team as well which to me is reason enough to reduce his playing time.

RoyBatty is alive Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 What is Milano, 221 pounds, yes he is very good in coverage if I were an offense I would run right at him, punish him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 What is Milano, 221 pounds, yes he is very good in coverage if I were an offense I would run right at him, punish him. Your coverage linebackers tend to be around that weight. Over the long terme I would like to see him add about 15 pounds to his frame as long as it doesnt cost speed.......but the kid is a very good tackler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Bizarre idea since he's starting at WLB. I think the Bills can more easily fill WLB than safety. Maybe Tanner Vallejo will have a good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
